Shoulder Plane

The shoulder plane is simply a line that is drawn from the ball across the top of your shoulders. It is ideal that the shoulders rotate back and forth on this plane line and don't stray from it. A common error is for a golfer to stand up changing their posture during the backswing. This will cause the shoulders to level out onto a flatter plane than they sat on at address. Thin shots, topped shots and pulls often result when this happens. If the shoulders dip on the backswing, they will end up on a much steeper plane than which they started. This can cause slices and fat shots.
